Mark Burroughs, an Aircrew Flight Equipment Specialist with the 80th Operations Support Squadron, airs out the canopy gores of a parachute at Sheppard Air Force Base, May 24, 2021. This process will allow him to move forward to the next step of packing the parachute back into the headrest of the pilot’s seat. Burroughs has dedicated his time as part of the 80th OSS for 26 years, having previously served in the Air Force for 20 years. The dedicated members of the OSS work like a well-oiled machine and are mission focused. (U.S. Air Force photo by Michelle Martin)
